my favorite lon chaney movies are 'ghost of frankenstein' (he played the monster, remarkably well, i might add) and 'house of frankenstein'(he resumed the role of the wolfman). with regards to 'house of frankenstein' svengoolie (the show which featured the movie) made a funny comment about larry talbot's werewolf transformation-"mirror mirror oh so classy, who looks just like that dog lassie?". i was laughing so hard when i heard that, but it must have been hell for lon to wear that furry wolf mask cuz as we all know, stuff from 1940 is old and by today's standards-toxic! i know karloff had issues with the frankenstein monster makeup, and i wonder if lon did too.

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."
